Rough Guide "Dripping with history, it’s as glamorous can be, with amazing decor throughout, classic bars... a Gordon Ramsay restaurant and gorgeously comfortable rooms."
Michelin Guide "Reopened in 2010 following a 3 year restoration, its luxurious bedrooms and stunning suites come in an Edwardian or art deco style."
Concierge "The part-Edwardian, part–Art Deco building on the Strand in central London is an ideal spot to stay when in town for sightseeing."
Fodor's "One of London's most famous hotels has emerged from a £220 million renovation, and the old girl is looking like a superstar again." Full review

"This was, after all, the original luxury hotel, or at very least the original London luxury hotel, a hotel whose influence is positively Beatlesque, if you’ll forgive the comparison." Full review
Time Out "Loved by generations of visitors for its discreet mix of Edwardian neo-classical and art deco." Full review
DK Eyewitness "This legendary hotel was an afterthought. Richard D’Oyly Carte capitalized on the success of his Savoy Theatre by providing a place to stay."
Star Service "Most guests looking for something special should opt for river-view suites or rooms with the unobstructed views of the Thames, London Eye, Parliament and Big Ben. " Full review
Gayot "Situated close to both the city and the West End... The Savoy enjoys a spectacular position facing the Thames and overlooking Embankment Gardens."
Travel + Leisure "When the Savoy opened in the heart of the theater district in 1889, it introduced many hotel firsts: the use of electricity, en-suite bathrooms, and elevators." Full review
